\begin{gathered} (1)/(8)\text{ x }(2)/(4) \\ \text{Firstly, multiply the denominator} \\ \text{Denominators of the two fractions are 4 and 8} \\ \text{The numerator of the two fractions are 1 and 2} \\ \frac{1\text{ x 2}}{8\text{ x 4}} \\ 1\text{ x 2 = 2} \\ 4\text{ x 8 = 32} \\ =\text{ }(2)/(32) \\ 2\text{ is a common factor of both 2 and 32, so, 2 can divide both evenly} \\ (2)/(2)\text{ = 1 and }(32)/(2)\text{ = 16} \\ =\text{ }(1)/(16) \\ \text{The answer is }(1)/(16) \end{gathered}
